Organized by the University of Bristol Islamic Society (Brisoc), the event runs from the 10th to 18th February 2011. Besides the exhibition which is open from 10 a.m till 8.00 p.m. , there are daily talks at 6.00 p.m. From 10th to 15th February, talks are held at the Reception Room, Wills Memorial Building (BS8 1RJ), while from 16th to 18th February, talks will be at Powell Lecture Theater, Physics Building (BS8 1TL). For the list of talks, visit the Brisoc website.
This event gives Bristolian a chance to know more about the religion and its civilization. Some Coolpix snapshots of the exhibition (too lazy to lug my D5000 now that I've got tons of books to haul :P)...
Contrary to popular belief, Arabs make up only 15% of Muslims. The most populous Islamic nation is actually Indonesia. 62% of the world's Muslims live in Asia compared to 20% in Arab countries. In fact there are more Muslims in Germany than in Lebanon, and more in China than in Syria (Yeah, I 'wikipeed' these :)).
